Restorative Reproductive Medicine vs IVF with Deborah Colloton - 04/09/2026

On this episode of Catholic Women Now, Chris Magruder and substitute co-host Leslie Teeling sit down with Deborah Colloton to tackle a sensitive but important topic: infertility and reproductive technologies. Deborah shares her personal journey through infertility and how it led her to discover restorative reproductive medicine—a science-based, ethical approach that seeks to identify and treat the root causes of infertility rather than bypass them. The discussion dives into the differences between restorative reproductive care and IVF, including medical outcomes, costs, and moral considerations from a Catholic perspective. The conversation also addresses surrogacy, the reality of embryo loss, and the dignity of human life, while offering hope to couples through emerging medical advancements. This episode provides both clarity and compassion for those navigating fertility challenges. 🔗 Learn more about restorative reproductive medicine:https://www.replyfertility.com/ #CatholicWomenNow #Infertility #IVF #ProLife #CatholicTeaching #RestorativeReproductiveMedicine #FaithAndScience #CatholicRadio #WomenOfFaith #DesMoinesCatholic Listen Live · Program Schedule · Our StationsLINKSYou can follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, Tiktok!
